  "account": "Statistics Canada is scheduled to release the GDP figures for August and its early estimate for September and the third quarter overall, according to the report by The Canadian Press. The release is expected this morning. Economists are predicting a growth of 0.2 per cent for August, marking a recovery from the zero growth recorded in July. This growth is anticipated to be influenced by the 50 per cent U.S. tariffs that began on August 22, impacting a range of Canadian goods. The energy price shock resulting from the war in the Middle East is also being closely monitored by the Bank of Canada, which recently increased its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 per cent to 2.5 per cent.",
